This seemed like it might have been related to bug 1873384. However I have pulseaudio 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.5 in which that bug is supposedly fixed, and changing input sources does not fix the problem for me.
On the other hand the speakers are now working with the headphones plugged in, when "Speakers" is selected in pavucontrol. I don't know what changed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889010 Title: [Inspiron 5482, Realtek ALC3204, Black Headphone Out, Front] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1889010/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
